November 2nd is National Deviled Egg Day.
Even people who rarely, if ever, eat a hard-boiled egg can’t help plucking a stuffed egg off the tray. You can celebrate plain or fancy. For the plainest, mash the yolk from a hard-boiled egg with some mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and salt, and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika. Our Mom liked to mix in pickle relish (although her recipe is actually a stuffed egg—see the difference between stuffed and deviled eggs, below). A fun fusion food recipe for California Roll Deviled Eggs is below. For fancy deviled egg recipes, take a look at these:
Stuffed eggs were a popular dish as far back as the Roman Empire. There are many different recipes for stuffed eggs through the centuries, but the term “deviled eggs” originated in 18th-century England. “Deviled” refers to the use of hot spices or condiments in a recipe—paprika, mustard, hot sauce, horseradish, chiles, etc. So all deviled eggs are stuffed eggs, but only stuffed eggs with hot spice are deviled eggs. |

1. HALVE the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a small bowl. Set the egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. 2. MASH the avocado well in a mixing bowl with a fork. Add the yolks and mash to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and salt and mix until smooth. Taste and season accordingly. 3. SPOON the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing them evenly. 4. TOP each egg half with a little crabmeat, a cucumber fan, a sprinkle of furikake, and about 1/4 teaspoon of fish roe. |
